3 Socil cognition nd community functioning in schizophreni 241 (time spent lone, initition of converstions, nd socil voidnce), interpersonl behvior (number of friends, whether the ptient hs prtner, nd qulity of communiction), independence competence (bility to perform skills necessry for independent living), independence performnce (performnce of skills necessry for independent living), recretion (enggement in rnge of common hobbies, interests etc.), prosocil behviour (enggement in rnge of common socil ctivities), nd employment (enggement in structured employment or structured progrm of dily ctivity). Community functioning ws rted by persons who were close to the ptients, s the SFS ssesses objective nd fctul informtion bout person s dily life (e.g., how often someone wshes the dishes). In ddition to the stndrd SFS subscles, number of other vribles were extrcted from this mesure. We constructed vrible clled work performnce, consisting of five-point scle rnging from hving job consistent with level of eduction or student to never hd job. This ws done becuse the SFS subscle employment lso includes informtion on subjective rtings of the subject being cpble of working, while we were interested in ctul job performnce only. Furthermore, we scored the number of friends nd whether ptients hd prtner. Higher scores on the SFS men better community functioning. Socil cognition Emotion perception mesures. Prosody tsk. To ssess the perception of uditory ffect, the prosody tsk (Pijnenborg et l., 2007 ) ws dministered. The prosody tsk consists of 16 udiotped sentences with neutrl content (e.g., The old cr drives through the streets of the cpitl nd The big plne flies over the trees of the rin forest ) nd eight ptterned syllble structures ( b b b b b b ). Sentences re pronounced with five different emotions (nger, fer, sdness, hppiness, nd surprise) nd in neutrl wy. Prticipnts were sked to identify the emotion; nswer ctegories were presented in multiple-choice formt. A totl score ws clculted by counting ll correct nswers. FEEST. The Fcil Expression of Emotions: Stimuli nd Test (Young et. l., 2002 ) requires prticipnts to identify emotions in pictures of fces. The test includes 60 pictures of six bsic emotions (nger, fer, sdness, hppiness, disgust, nd surprise) from the Ekmn nd Friesen ( 1976) series. Prticipnts were sked to identify the emotion: nswer ctegories were presented in multiple-choice formt. A totl score ws clculted by counting ll correct nswers. ToM mesure. Fux ps tsk, short version (Stone et l., 1998 ). Prticipnts were presented with 10 short stories, red loud by the experimenter. Five of these stories contined fux ps. A fux ps implies n embrrssing or wkwrd sitution tht occurs when someone sys something he or she should not hve sid, without relizing tht he or she should not sy it. After hering ech story, prticipnts were sked whether someone in the story sid something he should not hve sid (detection of fux ps) nd how the other person in the story my feel (empthy). The first question ssesses cognitive process/knowledge of socil rules, while the second question concerns empthic bilities. This tsk requires the representtion of two mentl sttes: tht of the person who mde the fux ps nd tht of the person who is hurt or embrrssed by it. The recognition of fux ps requires the bility to detect flse beliefs: one needs to relize tht the person who mkes the fux ps misses informtion to infer the mentl stte of the other chrcter in the story. The number of correctly detected fux ps nd the number of correctly nswered empthy questions (the totl score cross the five genuine fux ps stories) re counted, nd totl score is clculted for ech. Generl cognition A bttery of neuropsychologicl tests ws used to ssess overll intellectul bility, psychomotor speed, nd memory. All these res hve shown to be relted to community functioning in previous studies. To estimte generl intellectul bilities, we used the short version of the Groninger Intelligentietest (GIT; Luteijn & Brelds, 2004 ), n intelligence test tht is widely used in the Dutch lnguge re. The GIT hs good psychometric properties. The short GIT consists of five subtests: sptil bilities, rithmetic, verbl knowledge, verbl logicl resoning, nd word fluency I nd II. The totl IQ score ws used s the independent vrible. The 15 Words Test (Sn & Deelmn, 1986 ), Dutch modifiction of the Rey Auditory Verbl Lerning Test with good psychometric properties, ws used to ssess verbl memory. The totl number of words reproduced over five trils ws used s the independent vrible. Perceptul-motor speed nd speed of informtion processing were ssessed with the Tril Mking A, wheres the Tril Mking B ws used to ssess perceptul-motor speed, speed of informtion processing, nd mentl flexibility (Reitn, 1979 ). The independent vribles were the time needed on ech tsks. Psychopthology The Positive nd Negtive Symptom Scle (; Ky et l ) ws used to mesure psychopthology. Symptom clusters were bsed upon the model of Lindenmyer et l. ( 1994), which encompsses five psychitric symptom subscles: positive symptoms, negtive symptoms, disorgniztion, depression, nd excitement. Procedure All ptients were ssessed during their tretment t the Deprtment of Psychotic disorders of GGZ Drenthe in Assen, the Netherlnds. All ptients in the study gve their written informed consent for the use of their ssessment dt for reserch purposes. The conduct of the work reported in the
